- frosted-flakes 4y agoI was wondering what it meant. It's too bad English has a different pronunciation for "y", because the specified pronunciation Key-Seh-Lee means something totally different in Finnish (kiisseli, which is a type of dessert, a thick fruit soup that was a common tradition in my family).
- Sharlin 4y agoHeh, indeed. English doesn't really have the /y/ phoneme at all, so a word like "kysely" is pretty tricky to pronounce for a native English speaker.
